Public bug reported:
I have 3 monitors (2 landscape and 1 portrait), I normally need to
change between my monitors due to my setup. If I want to play a game, I
typically switch to a single monitor (Built-in) then I can switch back
to Join and everything goes back to normal. That is what I would expect
but that is NOT what happens.
When using super+p there are 4 options:
- Mirror
- Join
- External
- Built-in
The first two options work correctly, but the 3rd and 4th options do
not.
External and Built-in do the exact same thing: they simply shift my monitors
around, lose all settings (reset everything). So all 3 monitors are still in
use but settings are cleared (orientation, resolution, and frequency are
reset). I have to then open up the settings to change it all back. When I go
back to Join, I would expect the settings to return to normal. They do not.
Super + P simply wipes out monitor settings in my case.
I am using:
- Ubuntu 4.15.0-47.50-generic 4.15.18
- GeForce GTX 1080/PCIe/SSE2
- I have attached: lspci-vnvn.log
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release: 18.04
With nvidia-driver-418 from: ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
$ apt-cache policy nvidia-driver-418

I am not sure if this is actually necessary because I don't think this
has to do with the graphics card.
I am not sure what other information you will need for this report. I
can provide more data upon request.
